SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulatory Procedures 

Executive Order 12866 

This action pertains to agency 

organization, management or personnel 

matters and therefore is not a rule 

within the meaning of section 3(d)(3) of 

Executive Order 12866. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This regulation contains no new 

information collection requirements 

subject to review by the Office of 

Management and Budget under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

chapter 35). 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Commission certifies under 5 

U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have 

a significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

because it does not affect any small 

business entities. The regulation affects 

only federal agencies, federal 

employees, and applicants for federal 

employment. For this reason, a 

regulatory flexibility analysis is not 

required. 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 

This final rule will not result in the 

expenditure by State, local, or tribal 

governments, in the aggregate, or by the 

private sector, of $100 million or more 

in any one year, and it will not 

significantly or uniquely affect small 

governments. Therefore, no actions were 

deemed necessary under the provisions 

of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995. 

Congressional Review Act 

This action pertains to the 

Commission’s management, personnel 

and organization and does not 

substantially affect the rights or 

obligations of non-agency parties and, 

accordingly, is not a ‘‘rule’’ as that term 

is used by the Congressional Review Act 

(Subtitle E of the Small Business 

Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 

1996 (SBREFA)). Therefore, the 

reporting requirement of 5 U.S.C. 801 

does not apply.

the operating schedules of seven bridges 

in St. Petersburg and Tampa, FL. 

Unrestricted vehicle access on these 

bridges during peak traffic periods is 

necessary to ensure the security and 

safety of delegates and officials at the

their hotels and the site of the RNC. 

Numerous Federal, State, and local 

agencies, including U.S. Secret Service, 

Federal Bureau of Investigation, 

Customs and Border Protection, U.S. 

Coast Guard, and the Joint Terrorism 

Task Force have developed 

comprehensive security plans to protect

Corey Causeway/Pasadena Avenue 

Bridge; the Pinellas Bayway Structure

Bridge across Johns Pass, Madeira 

Beach, Florida. 

These deviations will result in these 

seven bridges remaining in the closed 

position at certain times during the RNC 

from August 26, 2012, through August 

30, 2012. The temporary deviations will 

close these bridges during the following 

periods: from 3:30 p.m. through 7:30 

p.m. on August 26, 2012; 11 a.m. to 2 

p.m. and 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on
